20s withTimeout() on the boot() and soft-switch paths (use-gateway-boot.ts),
since these are IPC round-trips into the main process with no timeout of
their own — a wedged main-process round-trip hangs the awaiting caller
forever instead of surfacing a failure.
Every other production call site of the same IPC pair was still unbounded:
- store/gateway.ts's openSecondary() and sharedPrimaryRoute() — the actual
connection-establishment underneath requestGatewayForProfile/Agent,
ensureGatewayForProfile/Agent, and every other exported routing entry
point that opens a non-primary profile's socket.
- use-gateway-request.ts's on-demand reconnect (the primary gateway's
"not connected" retry path hit by every RPC).
- voice-playback.ts's resolveSpeakStreamUrl().
- api/plugins.ts's activeConnection() (pluginSocket's connect()).
Extracted RECONNECT_ATTEMPT_TIMEOUT_MS into the shared lib/with-timeout.ts
(previously local to use-gateway-boot.ts) so every call site uses the same
budget instead of duplicating the constant.
Regression tests mirror the existing use-gateway-boot.test.tsx hang-repro
pattern: wedge getConnection()/getConnectionFor() with a never-resolving
promise, advance fake timers past the 20s bound, assert the caller settles
instead of hanging. Mutation-verified: reverted the production fix (kept
tests) and confirmed the 6 new tests fail — 4 by genuinely timing out at the
vitest level, 2 by TypeError on the not-yet-exported activeConnection —
restored the fix and confirmed all 70 tests across the gateway/voice/boot/
plugins suites pass, with tsc -p . --noEmit clean throughout.
